[pbs-devel] [PATCH v2 proxmox-backup] fix: avoid loss of concurrent config changes during datastore deletion

Fix a race between the initial reading of the datastore config before
destroying the datastore and concurrent config changes, by re-reading
the config in a locked context before removing the just destroyed
datastore from it.

Previously, the following steps created files in /srv/test2 but
removed test2 from the configuration:

  proxmox-backup-manager datastore create test1 /srv/test1
  proxmox-backup-manager datastore remove test1 --destroy-data &
  sleep 0.1
  proxmox-backup-manager datastore create test2 /srv/test2
